Blessed with the gift to cross genres, Samie Bower is a hit maker breaking the barriers of what many thought impossible.
Home to New Jersey, artist Samie Bower has been building a musical empire from the ground up and slowly taking over music’s landscape. Growing up, Bower was surrounded by the electric voice of Michael Jackson through his mother who would listen to the artist on a constant rotation. This turned out to influence Bower’s direction in music from an early age. As he continued to train his ear for music, he would discover other influential acts like T-Pain, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Tory Lanez, H.E.R., All Time Low, Forever The Sickest Kids, and Panic! At The Disco. It was evident that Bower wasn’t one to be boxed into one particular category but hold the creativity to blend sounds across genres. As he perfected his craft in times to come, he would achieve his own style that drew fans to his cause.

Mastering music over a number of genres, Bower is an alternative/melodic R&B artist and songwriter, that also makes music in R&B, Hiphop, and Pop. While he can transition fluently across all these, he is an artist guided by what he feels. When deep in emotions, R&B is his outlet, while feeling excited he expresses himself through upbeat-pop. Of all these, Bower holds a deep connection with R&B, as to him, it’s the rawest form of music allowing the artists to connect with parts of themselves that is their unadulterated truth.
